Triple D's Flying into Summer - June Edition

[disneygirlinnj]

Hello DDDs!

I've started a new thread to keep track of the rosters more easily. I expect interest in teams will start to pick up soon as the training to train and full-on training for the fall races start.

The link to this new thread is here, and it will include the rosters on the first post and monthly totals for all the teams on the second. Other posts will be for requests and new information.

Bryan and/or Betsy, could you please send me an updated roster for your team? Active members only. TIA!

Also, what are cohoe's and disneygirlinnj's real names, if they use them here? I'm trying to plan ahead for a "cheat sheet" for the POP meet.

My real name is Jenn Jenn L (with 2 'n's) if there's more than one out there!

I knew that, you've told me, and I just couldn't place it. It's not that my memory is getting worse now that I'm older--I've always been a bear with very little brain!

Thanks!

Hey DDDs,

Hello. I'm Running Mouse up here in Plymouth MA. No, I don't run by the Mayflower & Plymouth Rock every day but we have some great trails and most of my runs are on dirt paths in the hilly woods & cranberry bogs of Plymouth called the "Pine Hills". That's why I love the FLAT Disney marathon I am new to your group and happy to jog around with you !! Thank You to all who welcomed me. I just don't know what to do !! do I just tell you what I ran & time each week ? please PM me if I'm to do anything different.
June 1-7 Miles 21.5
I never keep the time but I will in the future. My goal is just to get to 25 miles a week for now.
Cheers, Dave

 

[Hey Mickey]

Hi, Dave and welcome to the triple Ds!

The way the tracking works is that for each month, miles and minutes are reported on the 7th, the 14th, the 21st, and the last day of the month (at least that is the ideal -- some of us are slackers and fall behind regularly )

Oh, and miles done in races count as double!

Glad to have you aboard,

Welcome again Dave!

All exercise counts.. you count miles for things that you can calculate miles (eliptical, bike, running, etc). You also count those minutes. If you do other forms of exercise, you can count those as minutes.

So if you run 5 miles in 50 mins and then take a cardio class for 50 mins... you would report in 5 miles and 100 mins. And also like someone else said... if you run in a race, you double your miles for that race.

I hope I explained that correctly!

Hi, Gang...
I've been so MIA. Sorry.

Dave, Welcome!! The others have told you what you need to know!

I have been sick with upper respiratory crud since last Sunday. But since I have a 1/2 Ironman this coming weekend, I tried to push it last week and at least get some training in, though I think that has made this cold linger...and linger...and linger...still hacking up a lung.

But, I did get in
40.4 miles bike/ 2:45
11.2 miles run/2:10
1.1 mile walk/:20

total 52.7 miles/5:15
Tried to run today, but it didn't go well. Hope to be rested by Sunday!

Jenn..WTG on the 10K!!


I am trying to fix the spreadsheet. We do have some June numbers up, just the overall totals got a little out of whack.
I sort of broke it when I went and deleted the people who don't post anymore. The people who come and post every couple of weeks or monthly (you know who you are! ) are still on there, because you are still contributing and checking in from time to time, which I appreciate.

Big Vic...hang in there...sounds like you have had a big run of LTO/WTO.

See ya! gotta get more rest. and maybe some hot tea and cough drops. ugh.

Hey Duckies....

Warrior in the House!! I know, I know, you all are just flabergasted right??

As prevously stated, Debra and I are trying to put together a more current WISH smaller teams thread. Keeping the teams members names current and getting people on a team that want to be.
Also on that thread is a post which I am doing that will show how all of the teams are doing.
So....... Please start a new thread each month. On the first post please include the teams total Miles and Minutes. This will make it much easier on my part to look up each teams numbers. Please don't post a link to a spreadsheet. Lots of numbers to keep track of, so having it out there in plain sight makes it easier for me (and other teams to stop by and check it out)
And with that said.... I need the DDD's time and miles for each month starting with February. You can PM me or post it on that new thread that Debra started.

Thanks Duckies!!!

Do you ever do any of the 5k's we have around the area? I was just wondering. I'm planning on my first race of the summer to be the Trak Shak Retro 5k.

I am doing the Big Brother Big Sister run on Saturday, a 5k at Greystone and another 5k in September at the Hoover Rec by Spain Park. Those are the only local races that I have planned so far. I am thinking about doing an 8.2 mile race at Oak Mountain State Park running up to Pevine Falls and back down. That sounds like a killer because I hate doing hills.

Tracy I will try to work on that for you tonight or tomorrow, if I can. I will do everything I can.

Hope everyone is having a great week so far!!!!

Bryan

Hello Duckies! Hope everyone had a good week. I know one thing, summer has not showed itself here yet, the weather the past two weeks has been quite poor. Unless you are a farmer, that is! But luckily the weekends have been quite nice, though this morning it was pretty wet. Today I was entered in three races, all bike events, a 20K road race, and a 5K and a 10K time trial. Which, by the way, equals 21 miles, more or less. If you count warm up laps, I would have to add more, but I was not keeping track of that. I bettered my time in the 10K by 2 seconds and won the eventfor my age group, and came in 2nd overall. I also won my age group in the 5K and came in second in the 20K. And finished of fthe day by going into the city and riding another 20 miles there. There are quite a few very nice bike paths in NYC.

Anyway, to report my time. I had 95 regular miles, and 21 in the race, which doubles, so 137 miles, and 7.5 hours

Hope everyone has a great week!

Augie

[Hey Mickey]

well, June is turning out to be a wash, both literally and figuratively -- acording to the news tonite, we've had rain 12 out of 1 days this month, and its been miserable here. There are mushrooms growing in the flower patch where my sunloving annuals were planted! Every time I think there's a break and go get ready to do soemthing outside (like run) it clouds right back up and you never know when you're about to get soaked. If I don't get me some sunshine soon, its gonna be ugly.

which perhaps explains my sudden, irrational decision to go to wdw at the end of next week. Its gonna be just me and my two sons, so we don't need more than a basic hotel room to crash in and there are some decent AP rates at the value and moderates, so I think I am going to go for it. Which brings me to a question: I know a lot of folks on this board stay at POR or POFQ marathon weeknd. What is the difference between the two? Should I stay at one of those (I'll have a car b/c I'm driving down with them), or just go for POP or an AS resort? Any opinions? anyone? buehler?

oh, right, miles and minutes were due yesterday. sorry yet again Betsey. Here's my report for 6/8 through 6/14, which was, as preciously stated, pretty much a wash:

miles: 8.5
minutes: 90

this week will be better, even if it means the dreadmill...

 

[bubba73]

WOW!!! You guys are doing incredible. Make your captain feel very proud of all of you and at the same time, you make me feel like I need to get my big backside into gear! Seriously though, you are doing a wonderful job. Sounds like we have a lot of people getting outside and enjoying the warm weather. That's great!! Just remember your sunscreen. (Public Safety Announcement)

As for me and my race, it didn't happen. The race actually was cancelled (or postponed) due to bad weather. I am hoping that they make it up but now I just have to wait and see when. I wouldn't have been able to run in it this weekend anyway as there was a lot of stuff going on around here and I ended up not getting much sleep so I wasn't properly rested for a race. I am going to do a separate post in a couple of days to fill in the blanks more. Now for my totals for the week.

Miles - 82.75
Hours - 9.75

This week was a bit of a downer because I took a couple of days off to rest for the race and then it never happened. Bummer! Hopefully this week will be better for me.

Keep up the tremendous amounts of effort. TRIPLE D'S ROCK!!!!!!

Rich, yes, the races were all on one day. 20K first, then the 5K, then the 10K. There was a good bit of time between races, so I felt fine. And rode another 20 after. (just for fun!)

Erica, have only stayed in POFQ when it was just called PO, and POR was just R. The only difference is the theming, POFQ has a New Orleans feel, and POR has a more rustic decor. I hear good things from some friends about the lounge at POFQ! Liked the boat that would take you to DTD from either. And also OKW too, I think. Have a great trip! (You are driving down? Haven't done that in a while!) Bring some sunshine back!
